Paper Artsy Fun Part 3!

This time I used sets by 3 designers - Clare Lloyd, Emma Godfrey and Sara Naumann, stencil by Lin Brown and paints by Jo-Firth-Young

 

This picture shows the background I created using FF paints - the 1st limited edition by Jo Firth-Young - I adored these colours.

 

I stencilled the background in 2 colours and then stamped the stars.

 

The script from the Sara Naumann set was stamped in Chalk FF paint.

 

 

I then stamped the girl from the Clare Lloyd set and painted her.  Once happy, I cut her out and added her to the page. 

To finish I stamped and painted the greeting and the stamped a quote in Archival ink.

I was really pleased at how this turned out - and it goes to show that all of these amazing stamps work so well together.

Thanks for looking.

Masterboard Mayhem - Inspired by Jo Firth Young

A few weeks ago Jo Firth Young showed us how to create a master board over at the Paper Artsy blog.

As soon as I saw this I couldn't wait to have a go at creating one of my own. The only problem was that once I started I couldn't stop.... and I ended up creating 3!  Here are my creations:

For each of the master boards I tried slightly different stamps.

All of the master boards were coloured using water colour pencils.

Once created I couldn't bear to cut them up - once I had overcome this I used a section to create a matchbox to send a small gift in. 

I thought the master board looked really nice when used - and I still have some left!

Hope you like my creations - and a massive thanks to Jo Firth Young for creating this new addiction for me! 

Flowers, Flowers Everywhere!!

I recently purchased the new Jo Firth-Young Stamps from Paper Artsy. I love them so much that I can't stop 'playing' with them!  I've been busy starting projects but thought I would share 1 card with you:

 

I started off by die-cutting a mini cabinet shape from card stock.  I then blended peeled paint, wild honey and broken china distress inks over it before edging the card with walnut stain.

 

I stamped the flowers in archival ink and coloured them with worn lipstick, seedless preserves and peeled paint distress inks.  I used a water brush to do this.

 

 

I stamped the butterfly onto card and also onto clearly for art.  I coloured the card in and stapled the clearly for art to it.  I then heated and shaped the wings of the butterfly.

 

I attached the panel to a card blank and doodled around it - this is my very first attempt at doodling!! I then stamped a greeting to finish.

 

Thanks for looking.....
